Regarding what His Royal Highness King Xin and this Li Ge Lao were talking about secretly in the car, although Zu Dale was curious, he didn't dare to approach and eavesdrop. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, these Praetorian Guards who served as temporary guards all held powerful new muskets in their hands, and even if they were dignified chief officers, if they dared to approach, they would be beaten into a sieve.

But when he heard the laughter of His Royal Highness King Xinwang Zhu Youzhen suddenly coming from the carriage, Zu Dale also felt a little bad in his heart, and at this time, Zu Kuan also walked over and asked, "Brother Le, why is His Royal Highness King Xin laughing?" ”

"It's none of your business or me, don't ask!"

Zu Dale scolded Zu Kuan, and stood still like an old monk sitting in meditation, but his ears involuntarily listened carefully to the movement in the carriage.

After Li Mingrui suddenly shouted "Someone is coming" and reprimanded him, Zu Dale suddenly understood that even if the court dared to love the king of letters, he was still not at ease, and he had to take his life.

However, since ancient times, the emperor's family has been the most ruthless, and Zu Dale is also very clear, understanding that a martial artist like himself is not qualified to ask, but he sighed in his heart and said in his heart:

"Today, His Majesty is ruthless and resolute but also loves the people like a son, on the one hand, affirms military discipline and national law, on the other hand, lightly dispenses with meager endowments, and even directly abolishes conscription, which can be described as a first-class good emperor throughout the ages;

Although His Royal Highness King Xin is a royal nobleman, he treats people well, does not see anyone in his eyes, and dares to fight, is not greedy for life and afraid of death, and is also a person with ambition and courage, but these two people were born in the emperor's family, and they are both descendants of an emperor, so no one can tolerate anyone, and one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, perhaps this is the truth. ”

Just when Zu Dale secretly felt sorry for Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, he saw that Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, had already walked down under the escort of the two brocade guards in shackles.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, had already changed into prison clothes, and his hair had become more and more unkempt because of the wind and sand, and his face seemed to have a sense of determination, sometimes smiling bitterly, sometimes tears flowing, and sometimes indignant.

Zu Kuan and several other Western Expeditionary troops couldn't help but come over.

Although Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, is not their master, and they have no interests with Zhu Youzhen, but in the end, they have fought side by side together, and in modern times, they can be regarded as comrades-in-arms who have blocked swords and guns for each other, so they instinctively came over to ask what was going on.

At this time, the Praetorian Guards had already picked up the rifles in their hands, and as long as these Western Expeditionary troops dared to go further, they would be shot directly and fell to the ground.

"Stand back, do you want to rebel!"

Zu Dale shouted, and the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army still retreated, and most of them showed suspicion on their faces, but they really didn't dare to ask anything.

And Li Mingrui didn't need to explain to them, he just called Zu Dale over: "General Soldier Zu, here is an edict from His Majesty today, and after reading it, act according to the will." ”

Zu Dale walked over, took the yellow paper from Li Mingrui's hand, and unfolded it to take a look, but it was His Majesty Zhu Youxiao who asked him to retire from the army, and immediately went to Beijing to report to the military department, and the military department made new arrangements for the whereabouts of the officers and soldiers of the Western Expedition.

And his ancestor Dale was directly appointed as the governor of the Zuo capital of the Chinese military in Nanjing, although he was promoted to a first-class military attaché, but it was just an idle position. Obviously, Zhu Youxiao wanted his ancestor Dale to go to Nanjing to retire.

Zu Dale was also happy to do so, so he knelt directly on the ground: "Please ask Elder Li Ge to forward it to Your Majesty, and Wechen is here to thank Your Majesty Longen and give Wechen a chance to spend his old age in peace!" ”

After Zu Dale said this, he couldn't help but cry.

But Zu Kuan and the others saw it in a fog, and it wasn't until Zu Dale told them his will that they understood that they didn't have to return the horse leather shroud, but from now on, they had to separate their brothers and go to other places.

As for the Hami Acropolis, it was directly taken over by the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Army and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade of the Praetorian Guard.

The Third Army was a coordinated infantry force, and the First Brigade was its main force, with its infantry and artillery well-equipped, and it was only a matter of a few tons of steel and a few hundred liters of gas for this adobe-brick Acropolis.

Without waiting for the Mongol Tatar cavalry to take the lead in attacking, the artillery battalion of the first brigade of the Third Army took the lead in launching an artillery attack, and the dense artillery fire covered the entire Hami Acropolis in an instant, and the Hami Guard City Wall was full of crumbs, and the Mongolian Tatar cavalry was also directly blown up.

At this time, the cavalry battalion shot down a large number of Mongolian Tatars with a single charge, and these fierce Mongolian Tatars were beaten to the ground like chickens and dogs.

The Mongol Tartar cavalry did not want to be beaten passively like this, so they hurriedly retreated, reorganized the cavalry and took advantage of the swiftness of the cavalry to directly kill the Praetorian infantry.

The Janissary infantry was also polite and immediately opened fire, and the Mongol Tartars also shot arrows, but in the end, the Janissake's guns were more efficient, so the casualties on the Tartars' side were greater.

What's more, the artillery battalion readjusted its artillery position at this time, and when the Mongol Tartars had just concentrated their forces and were ready to crush the Janissary infantry battalion with dense bow and arrow fire, countless shells exploded.

The Mongol Tatar cavalry was disrupted again, but by this time the Janissary cavalry brigade had also rushed to the Acropolis and quickly captured it.

In less than half an hour, the Acropolis of Hami, which was guarded by tens of thousands of Mongol Tatars, was captured by the Praetorian Guards.

It was not that the Janissaries killed and wounded a large number of Mongol Tartars, but that these Mongol Tatars could not stop the attack of the Praetorian Guards at all, and as long as the Mongol Tatars just rushed up, they could only be cannon fodder.

Therefore, after a fierce battle, the Mongol Tartars could only watch the Hami Acropolis being taken by the Ming Praetorian Guards, and they could only leave helplessly.

At this point, from the Yumen Pass to the west of Jiayu Pass to the Yangzhou Pass to the Shazhou Wei to the westernmost Hami Wei of the Ming Dynasty, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was newly recovered, and as for the various Mongolian tribes scattered in this area, it is necessary to ask the imperial court how to decide, perhaps to start to change the land and return to the stream, or to first restrain and then change the land and return to the stream has not yet been decided.

Because no one expected that the Western Expeditionary Army would eventually hit the Acropolis of Hami.

According to the previous predictions of Zhu Youxiao and the cabinet, they thought that this might just be a failed westward expedition, and lay the foundation for the real westward expedition in the future.

But now, since it has reached this point, he simply dispatched the Praetorian Guard to fight down, according to Zhu Youxiao's temporary will, the first brigade of the third army of the Praetorian Guard and the third cavalry brigade were temporarily not transferred back to Middle-earth after the Acropolis of Hami, and directly established the Anxi Xingdu Command Envoy, with Jiao Hong as the commander, responsible for the military cantonment affairs in the entire northwest region (refer to the later generations that it was the construction corps).
